Pope Francis has been often defined as the ‘pope of the first times’. The initiatives that he has taken without having anyone of his predecessors to have done the same are numberless. This is true especially in the field on dialogue with people of different religious traditions. Yet, he himself has often reminded people who have prompted him on this specific aspect of his papacy that much of his – at times daring – initiatives would not have been possible without or before the Second Vatican Council and some of his predecessors, like Paul VI, John Paul II and Benedict XVI. This paper attempts an in-depth study on the continuity the present papacy present respect both Council and Bergoglio’s predecessors. At the same time, it tries not to ignore the sense and meaning of events or acts which have represented a unique novelty of the Argentinean pope.
